Gyromite (also known as Robot Gyro in Japan) is a video game released in 1985 for the Nintendo Entertainment System, designed for use with the Robotic Operating Buddy (R.O.B.). Gyromite is one of two games in Nintendo's "Robot Series", the other being Stack-Up.
Plot
Professor Hector and his assistant, Professor Vector, navigate side-scrolling platform levels with the help of their creation, R.O.B. Their lives are threatened by dynamite and hungry little lizards called Smicks, and Professor Hector's sleep-walking tendencies get him in trouble as well.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
This game was the first with the inclusion of the Robotic Operating Buddy, also known as "Robot" in Japan and R.O.B. in the Americas. R.O.B. is an unlockable playable character, although he was graphically enhanced while wheels and jet thrusters were also added on. Gyro (R.O.B's down special move) was based on a top-like accessory used for the game.
